Our read The ingredients
Beef stew in name, beef and chicken in fact
Signature feature
Beef with carrots and peas
Beef recipe with carrots & peas
What it is Beef leads the roll, with carrots 6th and peas 7th, both above the salt, mixed through chicken, brown rice and oat flour.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Carrots and peas are present in a real amount, so the picture on the roll holds. But the name says beef while chicken sits second, so this is a two-meat roll, not a single-protein one.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken sits second, ahead of brown rice and oat flour, though the front names only beef. Dogs avoiding chicken should pass.
- 2 Chicken

Our read The label
A moderate fresh roll with more carbs than most
46%
-
Is it a high-protein food?
No
Protein runs 31% on a dry basis against a 47% average for the frozen foods we list, and carbs run about double the average.
-
Is it a meal?
Meal or topper
Blue sells it both ways. Used as a topper, cut the kibble to match, since every slice adds fat-heavy calories.
- Feed it to
- Healthy adults that do well on beef and chicken, and owners who want a fresh topper over kibble.
- Skip it for
- Puppies, dogs allergic to chicken or beef, and dogs on a low-fat diet or with a history of pancreatitis.
